i had a very nice conversation with harry reid, senator reid the week before. we all understand this is difficult. scott, if it were easy to solve the big spending problem here in washington, somebody over the last 20 years would have figured it out. this is not easy to do. but the house has done its work and the president got re-elected. this is the time to lead. now, my reference to the president a couple of weeks ago was about the guts to take on his own party, to do what we all know in this town needs to be done. we've got to cut spending, we've got to change the structural spending problem that we have, and it's time to do it. i'm not going to be part of kicking the can down the road and imprisoning the future for my kids and yours. >> senator harry reid said yesterday he is used to pretty salty language. >>> australian billionaire clive palmer unveiled plans yesterday to build a replica of the "titanic."
